Server Administrator Guide 5 - 13
If you do not have an NIS server but you still want strict access control for
the NFS file systems, you must define all NFS users manually on the
FirePass server. (For more information, see Using NFS user permissions
from a UNIX password file, on page 3-17.)
NIS and/or locally defined NFS users can be combined with the anonymous
NFS user. The FirePass server uses the anonymous NFS user whenever a
FirePass user is not defined as a local NFS user or a NIS user.
To map FirePass users to NFS users
1. Under the Server tab on the left side of the Administrative Console,
click the Maintenance link.
The Maintenance screen opens.
2. Click the NFS Configuration link.
The NFS Configuration screen opens.
3. To use an NIS server, select the Enable NIS option in the NIS
Settings section.
4. In the NIS Domain box, enter the NIS domain, such as
company.com.
5. In the NIS server box, enter the NIS server name, such as
NIS_server-name.company.com.
6. Click the Apply NIS Settings button.
7. To use an anonymous NFS user, select the Enable option. Fill in the
User ID and Group ID text boxes, and then click the Update
button.
